PALM BEACH MAN INJURED

BOSTON -- Robert Dickson, 65, of Palm Beach, was listed in guarded condition at Tufts-New England Medical Center after being injured when a steel-and- concrete canopy over an entrance to the luxury 36-story Westin Hotel collapsed Monday, police said. Dickson received broken ribs and foot, a ruptured spleen and multiple lacerations, hospital authorities said.

About 100 feet of the 250-foot-long suspended ceiling gave way about 4:15 p.m., injuring at least six people. Witnesses reported hearing a low rumbling sound overhead at an entrance to the hotel situated in the city's fashionable Copley Square.
